Rosie O: “Don't fear terrorists, they're just moms and dads”

November 12, 2006

TV host Rosie O'Donnell says there's no reason for Americans to fear terrorists because they are just moms and dads like us.

On her ABC show "The View" last Thursday O'Donnell said, "You can walk through life believing in the goodness of the world, or walk through life afraid of anyone who thinks different than you and trying to convert them to your way of thinking. And I think that this country ... ."

To which Hasselbeck interjected: "Well, I'm a person of faith, so I, but I also believe ... ."

"Well then, get away from the fear," interrupted O'Donnell. "Don't fear the terrorists. They're mothers and fathers."

Maybe Rosie O'Donnell (the same person who wants to ban guns but yet has an armed body guard for her and her adopted child would like to live under Islamic law. Why not? They are just like us right?

The End of Affirmative Action

By Prof. Mike S. Adams

"our department [at Univ of NC] has flown in a white candidate under the mistaken belief that he or she was black. But we cannot accuse these candidates of lying about their race just to get an interview. In fact, we lie to them when we print "The UNC system does not discriminate on the basis of race" on every application."

Sigrid Fry-Revere is director of bioethics studies for the Cato Institute.

At a meeting today and tomorrow (2 & 3 Nov 2006), the Department of Health and Human Services Advisory Committee on Organ Transplantation is expected to recommend that states adopt policies of "presumed consent" for organ donation.

In other words, authorities could harvest organs from your dead body without prior permission from you or your family.

If the government is really concerned with getting donor organs, it shouldn't rationalize stealing them, it should amend the National Organ Transplant Act to give people incentives for donating them...

...The situation is dire. Some 93,000 Americans are now on the list to receive donated organs; last year, fewer than half got them. Twenty Americans die every day waiting for an organ that never comes...

...At last month's meeting of the President's Council on Bioethics, Dr. Peter Lawler declared that the very idea that people own their organs was an "offense [to] dignity."

HHS and the President's Council are considering presumed consent because appeals to altruism aren't producing enough donations. So why won't they consider letting donors get compensation? It could be cash, tax deductions, lower insurance premiums or health-care benefits... complete article at: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=6771
